The State Council released a circular on the implementation plan to promote the high-quality development of new energy in the new era, drawn up by the National Development and Reform Commission and the National Energy Administration, on May 30.

Requirements: accelerate the construction of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases focusing on deserts, Gobi and desert areas, and promote the integrated development of new energy development and utilization and rural revitalization; Continue to improve the efficiency of project approval, improve the new energy project investment approval (filing) system, and strengthen the whole chain and all fields of supervision before, during and after the event. Relying on the national online approval and supervision platform for investment projects, establish a green channel for centralized approval of new energy projects, formulate a negative list of project access and a list of corporate commitments, promote the implementation of the corporate commitment system for investment projects, and shall not increase the unreasonable investment costs of new energy enterprises in any name. Promote the adjustment of wind power projects from the approval system to the filing system. Comprehensive energy projects with new energy as the main body, such as multi energy complementarity, source network load storage, and Microgrid, can go through the approval (filing) procedures as a whole.

In recent years, China’s new energy development represented by wind power and photovoltaic power generation has achieved remarkable results. The installed capacity ranks first in the world, the proportion of power generation has increased steadily, and the cost has dropped rapidly. It has basically entered a new stage of development without subsidies at par. At the same time, the development and utilization of new energy still has some constraints, such as insufficient adaptability of power system to large-scale and high proportion of new energy grid connection and consumption, and obvious constraints on land resources. Help to do a solid job in carbon peak and carbon neutralization. In accordance with the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the following implementation plan is hereby formulated to promote the high-quality development of new energy in the new era.

1、 Innovating new energy development and utilization mode

（1） Accelerate the construction of large-scale wind power photovoltaic bases focusing on deserts, Gobi and desert areas. Strengthen the planning and construction of a new energy supply and consumption system based on large-scale wind and solar power bases, supported by clean, efficient, advanced and energy-saving coal power around them, and supported by stable, safe and reliable UHV transmission and transformation lines. Strengthen coordination and guidance in land pre-trial, planning and site selection, environmental protection, etc., and improve the approval efficiency. In accordance with the requirements of promoting the optimal combination of coal and new energy, coal power enterprises are encouraged to carry out substantive joint ventures with new energy enterprises.
